Fair callout — Bluebeam Max does touch estimation. That said, we've talked with 20+ subs and almost none know them know exists. The reality is people that work in construction (Excluding field work), refers to AI as a scam and compares

Lovely. Are you in the construction space or are you a dev or both?

Have you tried using it with Finnish construction documents? It should work for the detections that cover drawings.

Hey thanks!! For estimation we cover division 08 (doors and opening) you can use it for your estimating purposes with these two endpoints: - Counting all the doors: https://www.getanchorgrid.com/developer/docs/endp

Fair point and thanks for the tip. No AI here though.

Yep we're constantly improving we're currently above 0.87 for doors we're thinking of adding a params for the ROC curve so that you can decide your own optimal thresholds depend on when false positive true positive rate is ac

Yeah OCR for technical is largely solved we're targeting the construction documents space For construction specs we have a few endpoints: - https://www.getanchorgrid.com/developer/docs/endpoints/specs...

interesting yeah parsing DWG/DXF natively makes sense when the source file is clean and well-structured. The precision argument is valid in controlled environments. The challenge we kept running into is that construction drawings in th

good q — we don't train on customer drawings. Our detection models are trained on a curated dataset of architectural drawings we've sourced and labeled ourselves, focused on the most common fixture and element types across CSI div

I also added an example PDF (just so you can interact with the results live) https://www.getanchorgrid.com/developer/docs/endpoints/drawi...

What specifically would be most useful — a door detection example, spec parsing, or elevation detection? You can use it like this -- Upload a pdf first: curl -X POST https://api.anchorgrid.ai/v1/documents \\ 90

We couldn't find an API that understood construction drawings, so we built one(getanchorgrid.com)

My co-founder and I got pulled out of e-commerce into construction. What we found was a document format that breaks every tool you throw at it — OCR, Textract, Mistral, SVG conversion. Schedules with no consistent structure, elevations no C
